Directions

  1. Cook the potatoes by either boiling or steaming them until they are cooked through, but not overcooked.
  2. In a bowl, add the olive oil and the herbs.
  3. Seperate the cloves of garlic but do not peel them, and add them to the olive oil.
  4. Let the oil infuse as you prepare the potatoes.
  5. Place the potatoes on a baking tray and lightly smash them with a large flat spoon. This increases surface area and creates more browning.
  6. Pour the oil, herbs and garlic over the potatoes and season to taste with coarse salt.
  7. Bake in the oven at 210°C for 40 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
  8. Enjoy!

Tip!


The garlic burns very easily, so do not overbake the potatoes.

Flatten the potatoes but do not mash them into puree. They should retain their structural integrity.
